Although I struggled a bit in the beginning, trying to keep up with the introduction of characters, I was eventually able to settle into the story and enjoy it. I never figured out what really happened on my own. Instead, I had to wait until the end of the book, which is a plus for me.

This is great, immersive storytelling. I could have continued to listen for hours more.

I'm truly annoyed

I can't recall the last time I felt this annoyed with a book, if ever. I'm not even finished with it yet and I'm writing this review because I can't understand why the main character would be written this way. She's weak and clueless and whiny and unreal in my opinion. I can't seem to like any of the family members/characters - they're just. not. likable. I kept on with the book because the first few chapters were entertaining enough and caught my interest, but after that it seems like everything is just repeating... and what's up with the 'I don't know why this is happening" aspect of the story when it's very obvious what's happening?? I don't get what the author was attempting to do at certain points - meet a word quota?
This review is being written at chapter 28, and at this point I need to speed up the playback just so that I can finish because I don't like to leave books unfinished. I at least want to give it a chance to get better again, and I do hope it gets better so that I can update my review in a more positive way.
I do enjoy the narrator. I think she's very talented, and probably the reason I've made it this far in the book.

I enjoyed this immensely. The narrator is awesome & so talented. The story makes sense and is well-written with elements of suspense & romance, to name a couple.

20 chapters and more than 2 months in, and I stil can't keep focused on this book for more than 15 minutes at a time. It ends up becoming background noise for ne. I've tried to care about and connect with the characters, but I just can't. With so many good reviews, I feel like maybe I'm missing something, which is why I've continued to keep reading and hoping FOR 2 MONTHS but. I have to face reality, this isn't the one for me.

IMO, this story can be summed up in 3 words - procrastination, dishonesty, and frustration-inducing. Did it really take a whole book to tell THIS story??

This book was my introduction to Karin Slaughter and I didn't realize it was part of a series until it was too late. It doesn't matter though, because I look forward to enjoying the others. Great writing!

I never felt connected to any of the characters or found myself rooting for anyone in particular. For me, this book is simply a way to pass the time... it's nothing special. The narrator didn't impress me either - his speech seemed a bit rushed. I generally love books written by Ken Follet, but this one really surprised me, in a bad way.

Morton did a wonderful job of storytelling & connecting all the dots. Great narrating by Lee as well... Highly recommended.

...she really brings the story to life.
I thought the ending was appropriate & it left me looking forward to another chapter in the Gideon - Eva story. Will they make it? Hmmm. ..
